Still, you should be positive in your approach, and the results will follow.

Recruiters look for experienced staff who will assist youngsters. Every
organization requires a proper balance between youth and experience, and,
therefore, an older job-seeker always has a chance to add value to the
organization.

Here are few tips for the older job-seekers.

• If you have been out of job for a long time, make sure your face never show
the frustrations of not being in a job, while you go for an interview. Your
appearance count, frustration and irritation, may cost you an opportunity. It’s
crucial that you stay physically and mentally fit.

• What does your resume say? Some would fill their resume with each and
every action they did on earth. Never do that, your experience column should be
only containing details of related work experience.

• It’s important to check the ‘job experience’ requirements of a company.
Your years of experience column in your curriculum vitae should match those
required by the company, even if it means trimming the actual working years of
yours.

• Older job-seekers have a better chance to get on board if they can convince
recruiters about their commitment and loyalty to the company.

• It’s essential to stay connected, opportunities of job keep coming up, and
you should be in the right place to grab such jobs. Join social networking
sites, such as mylot, or facebook, as it helps you interact more with
strangers. You might find a job lead, which otherwise may not be possible.

• Update yourself with the latest news.You may continue to impress recruiters
if you keep talking about the latest happening taking place around the world.
It shows that you have a positive attitude and likes to stay in touch with
modern times.

• Working knowledge of computers could come in handy as it keeps you in a
better position to get a job.

• The least but the most important of all. Dress properly when you check in for
an interview; a formal dress code with impeccable manners will make you stand
out in a group. Your clothes should be clean and not too colorful. A matched tie
and well polished shoes are a must.
